Sollecito added that his relationship with Knox was “overcome by this tragedy” but did say that although the circumstances are very different for the both of them he still felt “affection” for her.

In 2009, Knox, Sollecito, and another man, Rudy Guede from the Ivory Coast were all convicted of the murder of Knox’s former roommate Meredith Kercher in what was described as a drug-fueled sex game gone wrong.

Knox and Sollecito appealed their case and were ultimately released due to what appears to be a lack of evidence against the two former flames.

Following the acquittal the President of the Perugia appeals court Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann told Italian reporters that the two judges and six jurors ultimately decided the fates of Knox and Sollecito by following their “conscience.”

Nevertheless, Hellman did say that both Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito might know the “real truth” behind what happened the night Knox’s former roommate Meredith Kercher was killed.

Hellmann stated, “They could also be responsible but the proof isn’t there.”
